"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I know that there is nothing wrong with red meat, but I always heard ham is unhealthy because pigs eat just about anything thing, so the meat isn't healthy.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Surely there livers would filter out the toxins etc. This sounds like a myth to me.

And pigs will probably be fed in similar respects to other animals. I watched this programme called Kill it, Cook it, Eat it. They were slaughtering pigs live and the guys were very meticulous in the whole process. They checked the insides etc for signs off damage/disease. Any hint of dissatisfaction and they aren't approved to be sold.

Dunno, I love pork and eat it when I can.
It does require more cooking than other meats
due to the presence of certain parasites in swine.

I don't think it has to do with pigs eating anything....
ever see cattle or sheep or freakin' fish? Talk about
eating anything. Compared to most other livestock, swine
are remarkably similar to humans, physiology-wise.

Pork is great and I think it has gotten a bad rap
due to certain religious "sectors" which I won't
even begin to detail :crackup:

Perhaps you're talking about deli ham?

deli meats in general are bad because of the nitrates and subsequent nitrites, as well as some other chemicals that shouldn't be consumed by any living being.

I think its a decent food product.

Not sure if it really has any benefits though if you are either trying to gain weight for bodybuilding or even just trying to lose weight.

It just seems like one of those foods that doesn't really help either goal very much but doesn't necessarily hurt those goals either.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

ham is unhealthy to the extent that it contains sodium nitrate/nitrate, msg, etc.

it has a bad rap b/c it is relatively fatty, but most people don't realize that half that is monounsaturates (the main component of olive oil).

it also gets a bad rap for being fairly high in salt -- as are all preserved meats. unless you're living off it, this shouldn't be a big deal.
